DERIVATIVES
Technical Field
The invention relates to fused bicycloheterocycle substituted azabicyclic
alkane
derivatives, compositions comprising such compounds, and methods of treating
conditions and disorders using such compounds and compositions.
Description of Related Technology
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are widely distributed throughout
the
central (CNS) and peripheral (PNS) nervous systems. Such receptors play an
important
role in regulating CNS function, particularly by modulating release of a wide
range of
neurotransmitters, including, but not necessarily limited to acetylcholine,
norepinephrine,
dopamine, serotonin and GABA. Consequently, nicotinic receptors mediate a very
wide
range of physiological effects, and have been targeted for therapeutic
treatment of
disorders relating to cognitive function, learning and memory,
neurodegeneration, pain
and inflammation, psychosis and sensory gating, mood and emotion, among
others.
Many subtypes of the nAChR exist in the CNS and periphery. Each subtype has a
different effect on regulating the overall physiological function. Typically,
nAChRs are
ion channels that are constructed from a pentameric assembly of subunit
proteins. At
least 12 subunit proteins, a2-a10 and p2-134, have been identified in neuronal
tissue.
These subunits provide for a great variety of homomeric and heteromeric
combinations
that account for the diverse receptor subtypes. For example, the predominant
receptor
that is responsible for high affinity binding of nicotine in brain tissue has
composition
(a11)2(132)3 (the a4f32 subtype), while another major population of receptors
is comprised
of homomeric (a7)5 (the a7 subtype) receptors.
Certain compounds, like the plant alkaloid nicotine, interact with all
subtypes of
-1-

CA 02647830 2008-09-29
WO 2007/137030
PCT/US2007/068930
the nAChRs, accounting for the physiological effects of this compound. While
nicotine
has been demonstrated to have many biological activities, not all of the
effects mediated
by nicotine are desirable. For example, nicotine exerts gastrointestinal and
cardiovascular side effects that interfere at therapeutic doses, and its
addictive nature and
acute toxicity are well-known Ligands that are selective for interaction with
only certain
subtypes of the nACIIR offer potential for achieving beneficial therapeutic
effects with an
improved margin for safety.
The a7 and AP nAChRs have been shown to play a significant role in
enhancing cognitive function, including aspects of learning, memory and
attention
(Levin, ED, 3. Neurobia 53: 633-640, 2002). For example, a7 nAChRs have been
linked to conditions and disorders related to attention deficit disorder,
attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADEID), Alzheimer's disease (AD), mild cognitive
impairment,
senile dementia, dementia associated with Lewy bodies, dementia associated
with
Down's syndrome, AIDS dementia, Pick's Disease, as well as cognitive deficits
associated with schizophrenia, among other systemic activities. The a4132
receptor
subtype is implicated in attention, cognition, schizophrenia, epilepsy, and
pain control
(Paterson and Norberg, Progress in Neurobiology 61 75-111, 2000).
The activity at both a7 and a432 nAChRs can be modified or regulated by the
administration of subtype selective nAChR ligands. The ligands can exhibit
antagonist,
agonist, or partial agonist properties. Compounds that function as positive
allosteric
modulators are also known.
Although compounds that nonselectively demonstrate activity at a range of
nicotinic receptor subtypes including the a4132 and a7 nAChRs are known, it
would be
beneficial to provide compounds that interact selectively with a7-containing
neuronal
nAChRs, a402 nAChRs, or both a7 and a4P2 nAChRs compared to other subtypes.

intraperitoneally, topically (as by powders, ointments or drops), bucally or
as an oral or
nasal spray. The term "parenterally," as used herein, refers to modes of
administration,
including intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intrasternal,
subcutaneous,
intraarticular injection and infusion,
Pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral injection comprise pharmaceutically

acceptable sterile aqueous or nonaqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions
or
emulsions and sterile powders for reconstitution into sterile injectable
solutions or
dispersions. Examples of suitable aqueous and nonaqueous carriers, diluents,
solvents or
vehicles include water, ethanol, polyols (propylene glycol, polyethylene
glycol, glycerol,
and the like, and suitable mixtures thereof), vegetable oils (such as olive
oil) and
injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate, or suitable mixtures thereof.
Suitable
fluidity of the composition may be maintained, for example, by the use of a
coating such
as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of
dispersions, and
by the use of surfactants.
These compositions can also contain adjuvants such as preservative agents,
wetting agents, emulsifying agents, and dispersing agents. Prevention of the
action of
microorganisms can be ensured by various antibacterial and antifungal agents,
for
example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, and the like. It also
can be
desirable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars, sodium chloride and
the like.
Prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form can be brought
about by the
use of agents delaying absorption, for example, aluminum mono stearate and
gelatin.
In some cases, in order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is often desirable
to slow
the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This
can be
accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous
material with
poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug can depend upon its
rate of
dissolution, which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline
form.
Alternatively, dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle can
administer a
parenterally administered drug form.
Suspensions, in addition to the active compounds, can contain suspending
agents,
for example, ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and
sorbitan
esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar-
agar,

tragacanth, and mixtures thereof.
If desired, and for more effective distribution, the compounds of the
invention can
be incorporated into slow-release or targeted-delivery systems such as polymer
matrices,
liposomes, and micro spheres. They may be sterilized, for example, by
filtration through
a bacteria-retaining filter or by incorporation of sterilizing agents in the
form of sterile
solid compositions, which may be dissolved in sterile water or some other
sterile
injectable medium immediately before use.
Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsulated matrices of the
drug in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending
upon the
ratio of drug to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed,
the rate of
drug release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers
include
poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides) Depot injectable formulations also are
prepared
by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions which are compatible
with body
tissues.
The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration
through a
bacterial-retaining filter or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form
of sterile solid
compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other
sterile
injectable medium just prior to use.
Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous

suspensions can be formulated according to the known art using suitable
dispersing or
wetting agents and suspending agents, The sterile injectable preparation also
can be a
sterile injectable solution, suspension or emulsion in a nontoxic,
parenterally acceptable
diluent or solvent such as a solution in 1,3-butanediol, Among the acceptable
vehicles
and solvents that can be employed are water, Ringer's solution, U.S,P. and
isotonic
sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally
employed as a
solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be
employed
including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as
oleic acid are
used in the preparation of injectables.
Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills,
powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, one or more compounds of
the
invention is mixed with at least one inert pharmaceutically acceptable carrier
such as
sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or a) fillers or extenders such as
starches,

monostearate; h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay; and i)
lubricants such as
talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium
lauryl
sulfate, and mixtures thereof, In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the
dosage form
may also comprise buffering agents.
Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft
and
hard-filled gelatin capsules using lactose or milk sugar as well as high
molecular weight
polyethylene glycols.
The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can
be
prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings
well-known
in the pharmaceutical formulating art. They can optionally contain pacifying
agents and
can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only,
or
preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract in a delayed manner.
Examples of
materials useful for delaying release of the active agent can include
polymeric substances
and waxes.
Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories

which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of this invention with suitable
non-
irritating carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository
wax which
are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore
melt in the
rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound.
Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically
acceptable
emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs, In
addition to the
active compounds, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly
used in
the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and
emulsifiers
such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate,
benzyl alcohol,

polyamide powder,
or mixtures of these substances. Sprays can additionally contain customary
propellants
such as chlorofluorohydrocarbons.
Compounds of the invention also can be administered in the form of liposomes.
As is known in the art, liposomes are generally derived from phospholipids or
other lipid
substances. Liposomes are formed by mono- or multi-lamellar hydrated liquid
crystals
that are dispersed in an aqueous medium. Any non-toxic, physiologically
acceptable and
metabolizable lipid capable of forming liposomes may be used. The present
compositions in liposome form may contain, in addition to the compounds of the

Determination of Biological Activity
To determine the effectiveness of representative compounds of this invention
as
a7 nAChRs, the compounds of the invention were evaluated according to the
[311:1-
DPPB binding or the [311]-methyllycaconitine (MLA) binding assay (both
measures of a7
NNR binding) and considering the [3111-cytisine binding assay (measure of
a41.32
interactions), which were performed as described below.

mobile phase from .10% B to 20% B in 20 min where Mobile Phase A= 0.1%
trifluoroacetic acid in water and Mobile Phase B= 0,1% trifluoroacetic acid in
acetonitrile
at a flow rate of approximately 1 mL/min. Peak detection and chromatograms
were
obtained with an Agilent variable wavelength UV detector set at 275 rim, The
fractions
containing [31-1]-DPPB were collected at approximately 14 minutes using an
Agilent
fraction collector. The fractions were combined and the solvents were
evaporated in
vacuo. The residue was dissolved in 200 proof ethanol (2 mL) to give 0.7 mCi,
Step 5: Determination of Purity and Specific Activity
[31-I]-DPPB was assayed using an Agilent 1100 series HPLC system consisting of

a quaternary pump, an autosampler, and a photodiode array UV detector. A
Packard
Radiomatic A 500 radioactivity detector was connected to the HPLC system. For
radiodetection, a 500 mi., flow cell and a 3:1 ratio of Ultima-Flo M

1
micromolar. [31-1]-Cytisine binding values of compounds of the invention
ranged from
about 1 nanomolar to at least 100 micromolar, Alternatively, the K1 value as
measured by
[311}-DPPB assay can be used in place of the Ki MLA,
Methods of the Invention
Compounds and compositions of the invention are useful for modulating the
effects of nAChRs, and more particularly a7 nAChRs. In particular, the
compounds and
compositions of the invention can be used for treating and preventing
disorders
modulated by a7 nAChRs. Typically, such disorders can be ameliorated by
selectively
modulating the a7 nAChRs in a mammal, preferably by administering a compound
or
composition of the invention, either alone or in combination with another
active agent,
for example, as part of a therapeutic regimen. Also, some compounds of the
invention
possess affinity at the a4P2 nAChRs in addition to a7 nAChRs, and selective
compounds
with dual affinities at both receptor subtypes also are expected to have
beneficial effects.
The compounds of the invention, including but not limited to those specified
in
the examples, possess an affinity for nAChRs, and more particularly a7 nAChRs.
As a7
nAChRs ligands, the compounds of the invention can be useful for the treatment
and
prevention of a number of al nAChR-mediated diseases Or conditions.
For example, a7 nAChRs have been shown to play a significant role in enhancing

cognitive function, including aspects of learning, memory and attention
(Levin, ED., I.
Neurobiol. 53: 633-640, 2002). As such, a7 ligands are suitable for the
treatment of
cognitive disorders including, for example, attention deficit disorder,
attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), mild cognitive
impairment,
senile dementia, AIDS dementia, Pick's Disease, dementia associated with Lewy
bodies,
and dementia associated with Down's syndrome, as well as cognitive deficits
associated
with schizophrenia.
In addition, al-containing nAChRs have been shown to be involved in the
neuroprotective effects of nicotine both in vitro (,Tonnala, R. B. and
Buccafusco, JõJ., J.
Neurosci, Res. 66: 565-572, 2001) and in vivo (Shimohama, S. et al., Brain
Res. 779:
-93-

CA 02647830 2008-09-29
WO 2007/137030
PCT/US2007/068930
359-363, 1998), More particularly, neurodegeneration underlies several
progressive CNS
disorders, including, but not limited to, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's
disease,
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease, dementia with Lewy
bodies, as well
as diminished CNS function resulting from traumatic brain injury. For example,
the
impaired function of a7 nAChRs by P-amyloid peptides linked to Alzheimer's
disease
has been implicated as a key factor in development of the cognitive deficits
associated
with the disease (Liu, Q.-S., Kawai, H,, Berg, D. K., PNAS 98: 4734-4739,
2001), The
activation of ca nAChRs has been shown to block this neurotoxicity (Kihara, T.
et al., J,
Biol. Chem. 276: 13541-13546, 2001), As such, selective ligands that enhance
ca
activity can counter the deficits of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative
diseases.
Schizophrenia is a complex disease that is characterized by abnormalities in
perception, cognition, and emotions. Significant evidence implicates the
involvement of
a7 nAChRs in this disease, including a measured deficit of these receptors in
post-
mortem patients (Leonard, S. Eur. J. Pharmacol. 393: 237-242, 2000). Deficits
in
sensory processing (gating) are one of the hallmarks of schizophrenia These
deficits can
be normalized by nicotinic ligands that operate at the a7 nAChR (Adler L. E.
et aL,
Schizophrenia Bull, 24: 189-202, 1998; Stevens, K. E. et al.,
Psychopharmacology 1.36:
320-327, 1998). Thus, a7 ligands demonstrate potential in the treatment
schizophrenia.
Angiogenesis, a process involved in the growth of new blood vessels, is
important
in beneficial systemic functions, such as wound healing, vascularization of
skin grafts,
and enhancement of circulation, for example, increased circulation around a
vascular
occlusion. Non-selective nAChR agonists like nicotine have been shown to
stimulate
angiogenesis (Heeschen, C. et al., Nature Medicine 7: 833-8.39, 2001).
Improved
angiogenesis has been shown to involve activation of the a7 nAChR (Heeschen,
C. et al,
J. Clin, Invest, 110: 527-536, 2002), Therefore, nAChR ligands that are
selective for the
a7 subtype offer improved potential for stimulating angiogenesis with an
improved side
effect profile.
A population of ca nAChRs in the spinal cord modulate serotonergic
transmission that have been associated with the pain-relieving effects of
nicotinic
compounds (Cordero-Erausquin, M. and Changeux, J.P. PNAS 98:280.3-2807, 2001),

The a7 nAChR ligands demonstrate therapeutic potential for the treatment of
pain states,
-94-

CA 02647830 2008-09-29
WO 2007/137030
PCT/US2007/068930
including acute pain, post-surgical pain, as well as chronic pain states
including
inflammatory pain and neuropathic pain. Moreover, a7 nAChRs are expressed on
the
surface of primary macrophages that are involved in the inflammation response,
and that
activation of the a7 receptor inhibits release of TNF and other cytokines that
trigger the
inflammation response (Wang, H. et al Nature 421: 384-388, 2003), Therefore,
selective
a7 ligands demonstrate potential for treating conditions involving TNF'-
mediated
diseases, for example, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative
colitis,
inflammatory bowel disease, organ transplant rejection, acute immune disease
associated
with organ transplantation, chronic immune disease associated with organ
transplantation, septic shock, toxic shock syndrome, sepsis syndrome,
depression, and
rheumatoid spondylitis.
The mammalian sperm acrosome reaction is an exocytosis process important in
fertilization of the ovum by sperm. Activation of an al nAChR on the sperm
cell has
been shown to be essential for the acrosome reaction (Son, J.-11. and Meizel,
S. BioL
Reproduct. 68: 1348-1353 2003). Consequently, selective a7 agents demonstrate
utility
for treating fertility disorders.
Compounds of the invention are particularly useful for treating and preventing
a
condition or disorder affecting cognition, neurodegeneration, and
schizophrenia.
Cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia often limits the ability of
patients to function normally, a symptom not adequately treated by commonly
available
treatments, for example, treatment with an atypical antipsychotic. (Rowley, M.
et aL, J.
Med. Chem. 44: 477-501, 2001), Such cognitive deficit has been linked to
dysfunction of
the nicotinic cholinergic system, in particular with decreased activity at a7
receptors.
(Friedman, J. I. et al., Biol Psychiatry, 51: 349-357, 2002). Thus, activators
of a7
receptors can provide useful treatment for enhancing cognitive function in
schizophrenic
patients who are being treated with atypical antipsychotics. Accordingly, the
combination of an a7 nAChR ligand and an atypical antipsychotic would offer
improved
therapeutic utility. Specific examples of suitable atypical antipsychotics
include, but are
not limited to, clozapine, risperidone, olanzapine, quietapine, ziprasidone,
zotepine,
iloperidone, and the like.

this invention can be varied so as to obtain an amount of the active
compound(s) that is
effective to achieve the desired therapeutic response for a particular
patient, compositions
and mode of administration. The selected dosage level will depend upon the
activity of
the particular compound, the route of administration, the severity of the
condition being
treated and the condition and prior medical history of the patient being
treated. However,
it is within the skill of the art to start doses of the compound at levels
lower than required
to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and to gradually increase the dosage
until the
desired effect is achieved.
When used in the above or other treatments, a therapeutically effective amount
of
one of the compounds of the invention can be employed in pure form or, where
such
forms exist, in pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester, amide or prodrug
form.
Alternatively, the compound can be administered as a pharmaceutical
composition
containing the compound of interest in combination with one or more
pharmaceutically
acceptable carriers. The phrase "therapeutically effective amount" of the
compound of
the invention means a sufficient amount of the compound to treat disorders, at
a
reasonable benefit/risk ratio applicable to any medical treatment. It will be
understood,
however, that the total daily usage of the compounds and compositions of the
invention
will be decided by the attending physician within the scope of sound medical
judgment.
The specific therapeutically effective dose level for any particular patient
will depend
upon a variety of factors including the disorder being treated and the
severity of the
disorder; activity of the specific compound employed; the specific composition

employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the patient;
the time of
administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion of the specific
compound
employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or
coincidental with
the specific compound employed; and like factors well-known in the medical
arts. For
example, it is well within the skill of the art to start doses of the compound
at levels
lower than required to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and to gradually
increase the
dosage until the desired effect is achieved.
The total daily dose of the compounds of this invention administered to a
human
or lower animal range from about 0,010 mg/kg body weight to about 1 g/kg body
weight.
More preferable doses can be in the range of from about 0,010 mg/kg body
weight to
about 100 mg/kg body weight. If desired, the effective daily dose can be
divided into
-96-

CA 02647830 2008-09-29
WO 2007/137030
PCT/US2007/068930
multiple doses for purposes of administration. Consequently, single dose
compositions
may contain such amounts or submultiples thereof to make up the daily dose.
Compounds of the invention are ca nAChRs ligands that modulate function of a7
nAChRs by altering the activity of the receptor or signaling. The compounds
can be
inverse agonists that inhibit the basal activity of the receptor or
antagonists that
completely block the action of receptor-activating agonists The compounds also
can be
partial agonists that partially block or partially activate the a7 nAChR
receptor or
agonists that activate the receptor. Binding to a7 receptor also trigger key
signaling
processes involving various kinases and phosphatases and protein-protein
interactions
that are important to effects on memory, cytoprotection, gene transcription
and disease
modification. Therefore, the administration of a therapeutically effective
amount of a
compound of formula (I) to a mammal provides a method of selectively
modulating the
effects of a4132, a7, or both a4132 and a7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.
Furthermore, the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a
compound of formula (I) toa mammal provides a method of treating or preventing
a
condition or disorder selected from the group consisting of attention deficit
disorder,
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Alzheimer's disease (Al)),
mild
cognitive impairment, senile dementia, AIDS dementia, Pick's Disease, dementia

associated with Lewy bodies, dementia associated with Down's syndrome,
amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease, diminished CNS function associated
with
traumatic brain injury, acute pain, post-surgical pain, chronic pain,
inflammatory pain,
neuropathic pain, infertility, need for new blood vessel growth associated
with wound
healing, need for new blood vessel growth associated with vascularization of
skin grafts,
and lack of circulation, more particularly circulation around a vascular
occlusion,
rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel
disease,
organ transplant rejection, acute immune disease associated with organ
transplantation,
chronic immune disease associated with organ transplantation, septic shock,
toxic shock
syndrome, sepsis syndrome, depression, and rheumatoid spondylitis. More
prefered, the
administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula
(I) toa
mammal provides a method of treating cognitive disorders, neurodegeneration,
and
schizophrenia. Furthermore, compounds of formula (I) may also be administered
in
combination with an atypical antipsychotic,
